"I guess I'll throw this thought out there too. Is maligne route even worth it? Battling upstream and open water in llc/sturgeon. Or is it not worth it, and we should save cost of float plane and do a Stanton or nym loop down to access the same fred/Russell/scripture area, round-tripping back out through the north.

Again, any advice you have please keep in mind our primary goal is accessing remote areas for fishing."

if you do the Malign River, I agree with Ranger's advice to
reverse your planned route and go downstream rather than upstream.  2nd week of June, the water can still be very fast, and there are a half dozen or so "rapids" to negotiate - all but one or two have portages around them, but may be tricky to approach in high water - easier to go downstream.

Is it worth it ?  is just a matter of opinion I guess - its a nice route, but not really remote - LLC First Nations may be using Three Mile Lake as a landing strip, and the campsites in that vicinity are over used for that reason - if that is where you would fly in to, it would eliminate paddling LLC and about half of the river.  Fishing is supposed to be good on the river though I don't recall ever catching anything except below the last waterfall pouring into LLC (miniamal effort there) - you could do a side trip to Poobah if so inclined. 

If you are more interested in using a fly-in as a way to access more remote areas, you might consider flying in using the Mack Lake entry - actually they land/drop off in Clay Lake outside the park, and you travel down greenwood creek to wawiag river - that would give you access to Mack Lake via upstream on Mack Creek for one or two days, then travel back down the wawiag river to Kawnipi, and then out thru the Poets Chain to Russell - from there you have 2 or 3 options to get back North - say vial Lonely Lake to Nym takeout, or via Deux Riv to Pickeral, or via "B" chain to Pickeral and out at Stanton Bay if you are using a canadian outfitter.

I'd suggest calling the park HQ and asking them what lakes the LLC FIrst Nations are using for motorized/fly-in in 2014.  That might influence where you decide to go.  might be Poobah, or Sturgeon.  I've never done a fly-in trip, so not sure of the logistics - the HQ shoudl be able to answer questions about that and point you in the right direction towards who culd fly in.

Also keep in mind, if you used a MN outfitter for the fly-in, you would need an RABC to cover the border crossing issue - can't recall if there is still a customs station on LLC or not, just something to consider - my view, its easier to drive across the border, esp if you would be using a canadian outfitter

wind on the big lakes is just something you can't predict - often at that time of year, bad weather comes in from the NE, so going east is a chore - but storms can come in from NW just as well - prevaiing winds are out of the West, but I've never been able to count on that working very well.
